Fight the Lights Coronado!  Keep our village neighborhoods safe, quiet, and beautiful. Traffic lights will lead to unintended consequences.

Say no to FIVE new traffic lights being recommended to the Coronado City Council by the Coronado Traffic Commission.  These new lights will:

• Re-direct commuter traffic through all our neighborhoods
• Cause new safety issues on our village neighborhood streets
• Create severe air and noise pollution
• Degrade residential quality and affect property values
• Result in unintended negative consequences

October 6th the Coronado City Council will receive a recommendation to add five traffic lights to the 3rd and 4th Streets corridor.  This could change the character of our Village forever. 

Proposed lights will be at:

• B Avenue at 3rd and 4th
• F Avenue at 3rd and 4th
• Intersection of Alameda and 4th

The result will be cues and gridlock that will push traffic onto local Coronado neighborhood streets.  Traffic is like water--it finds the path of least resistance. 

Our City Council needs to protect Coronado residents, not commuters and special interest groups.

This all started as an effort to calm traffic on the city's busiest streets.  It has morphed into an all-out push to add new traffic lights.  Traffic lights have never been considered a method to calm traffic.  Traffic lights create more accidents with rear end collisions and speeding vehicles trying to "make the light".  They push trucks and cars into neighborhoods where children play, walk, and bike creating more safety issues.

If safety is the number one concern, traffic lights are not the answer.  If calming traffic is the number one concern, traffic light are not the solution.  If moving traffic efficiently is the number one concern, traffic lights are not the way to do it in Coronado.

If you agree and do not want additional traffic lights in Coronado, let the City Council know! Sign here and let your voice be heard.  And visit our website  www.FightTheLightsCoronado.com to learn more ways to help.

Remember, this issue affects EVERYONE; we must stand united and support each other. We have reached the saturation point in Coronado -- there is no more NIMBY: Everyone's backyard IS our backyard!
